The way you get deals done and the way you get good terms, is to have a competitive situation.

People that are really smart and that can learn new things can almost always find a role in the company as time goes on.

The best source by far for hiring is people that you already know and people that other employees in the company already know.

There's no way I know, to get through the pain of a startup without belief that the mission really matters.

You certainly don't need to have everything figured out in the path from here to world domination.

Aim to be the best in the world at whatever you do professionally. Even if you miss, you'll probably end up in a pretty good place.

Ideas by themselves are not worth anything, only executing well is what creates value.
